The CDC Hopper Orange Size 12 is an excellent, buoyant terrestrial attractor with an orange body and soft CDC wing. It suggests a hopper, small crane fly or other wind-blown insect while providing a bright target for stocked rainbow trout.
Fish it along wind lanes and near banks, static or with occasional twitches. Dry the CDC with an amadou patch or desiccant powder to preserve its natural buoyancy and movement. This is the sort of dependable dry that can turn a quiet rise into a memorable take.
